Hi everyone, it's time for some new fun with stencils over at CAS Stencil Challenge.
There are some videos to tempt you and lots of fabulous inspiration from our guest designer and the rest of the team. I hope you get the chance to play along.
I used the Smash stencil from Memory Box and dabbed some versamark ink through it onto some black card. Next I used a brush to dab on some perfect pearls powder in copper, blush and patina.
I brushed off the excess then spritzed it lightly with water to set the perfect pearls.
I wanted a bit more coverage so laid the stencil down and repeated this process a couple of times!
Here's a closer look.
I diecut the nimbers layered 3 times, inked with versamark and embossed with copper ep. The sentiment is also embossed with this.
I cut and inked some white card with delicata copper ink to layer the pearly panel onto.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where it's anything goes.
Mix it up Challenge Blog where I'm playing along with the anything goes option.
and to Just Us Girls where the theme is retro. I thik this coppery metallic look has a retro feel to it.
Supplies:
Memory Box smash stencil; perfect pearls powder; versamark ink; Memory Box Parker number dies; stitched circle die; Wow fine detail copper ep; Happy Little Stampers doodled Flowers sentiment; Delicata copper ink.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

I absolutely adore the look of this with the Perfect Pearls Cathy, and such a beautiful and dramatic look on the dark card and love the layers, especially the Delicata Copper to match the panel and that MB Smash stencil which goes beautifully. x
An impressive technique. Thanks Cathy for your entry this month at Mix It Up. Anne ( DT )
